Basic Energy Corp. said its subsidiary RDG Wind Energy Corp. has completed the wind resource assessment (WRA) for Mabini Wind Power Project, a renewable energy project RDG Wind manages.
The WRA report, which includes an annual energy production analysis and a wind turbine generator micrositing study, was provided by international consultants. The WRA followed a thorough data collection process that began in May 2024, utilizing both a 120-meter met mast and a light detection and ranging system. This combination of technologies provided accurate, reliable wind data for the site in Mabini, Batangas.
The results of the assessment show excellent wind conditions, supporting the development of a wind power plant with an initial capacity of 50 megaWatts. The plant is expected to generate around 250 gigaWatt-hours annually using the latest wind turbine technology.
Meantime, the micrositing study revealed the potential for future capacity expansion, enhancing the long-term viability of the site. RDG Wind also received approval for its system impact study from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, clearing the way for grid interconnection and power delivery plans.
With an active wind energy service contract from the Department of Energy, RDG Wind is currently conducting feasibility studies and preliminary engineering for the plant. The project, which spans 4,860 hectares in Mabini, is slated for completion and commissioning by early 2028.
